One of the nicer campaigns going on around the City of Taylor was the recent Oklahoma City relief effort by the local "Rebels with a Cause" group the parking lot of the Democratic Club of Taylor.
While it might not have been an official Taylor School District activity, members of the Truman football team ended up lending a hand to the effort, which was highlighted by WDVD Radio 96.3 and Fox 2 News.
The campaign filled two semi-truck trailers full of items for those left without homes after the tragic tornado damage in the Oklahoma City area. Thanks to all of the generosity of the community and the work of the volunteers, the two trailers filled very fast. Each carried about 45,000 pounds of food, water, clothing, etc.
Cash donations onsite resulted in $2,000 worth of purchases at Walmart which were also included in the relief package.
Two drivers, Dennis Olson and Don Trezel, drove the trucks to the Oklahoma City Rescue Mission. The trucks came from Load One Logistics.
Great job, Taylor!
